Of the Modern F cars the F40 is a standout, in a way that nothing made in the last few years will be like, with the exception of the Enzo. But the F40 is so much an extreme of Ferrari, whereas the Enzo went beyond into a street legeal race car, that has no race provenance. I guess in hindsite you can say the same thing about the f40... But seeing an enzo, f50 and f40 together, the f40 is the standout.]]>Mar 26th 2008 6:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/
But I guess Ferrari did it out of marketing necessity. It would've made them look pretty bad if a brand new Ferrari can't beat an "80's car".]]>Mar 26th 2008 7:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/Mar 26th 2008 8:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/...but the fact that it's so obviously scripted (now I pass, now you overtake...) takes half the fun out of it: it ruins the illusion.]]>Mar 26th 2008 7:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/
But nonetheless it's got good cinematics.

Personally I like the F40 better. Pure mechanical awesomeness, no lame computer doing half the driving for you.]]>Mar 26th 2008 7:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/Mar 26th 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/
Besides, both go faster than I can drive. The F40 might even teach me to drive better by not covering up for me when I do the wrong thing.

Ranting aside, that was an incredible video and I commend whoever was in charge of the sound for getting a near perfect mix between the engine and music volume. Also for using great music for the scene. ]]>Mar 26th 2008 7:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/
I missed the cosmic girl video from Jamiroquai, its a music video, but has a better editing than this that is for car advertising.]]>Mar 26th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/
F1 looks a lot cooler, which is what really matters to me. Not that i'll ever own either of course.]]>Mar 26th 2008 7:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/Mar 26th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/26/video-old-vs-new-ferrari-599-shows-f40-a-thing-or-two/
